Hello this is my first time coming to this forum and I would like some advice.
Yesterday my 10 yr old mixed mutt went into emergency surgery for Pyometra and came out with no complications according to the vet. He said she should recover since her bloodwork was good (the only thing not normal was her white blood cell count) but since I've come home she's still lethargic and her gums have paled and I'm scared she's on her last legs. I've tried offering her food as for the vet's request but she denies it even when I water it down to a slurry. She will however drink a TON of water. I've been offering her warm water occassionally mixed with pedialyte and she will drink the entire bowl ONLY to regurgitate it out. I've tried elevating her head after she drinks and burping her just so she can at least keep SOMETHING in. The vet advised me to email them when their hours are closed because they're more likely to respond but I haven't gotten anything from their email. Can anyone help me?
